This Is What 'World War Z' Finally Looks Like

The new trailer for Brad Pitt's long-in-the-works zombie flick, World War Z, features a lot of Brad Pitt—and his flowing mane—trying to figure out how to battle the swarms of nondescript zombies we've seen in earlier trailers. In this refreshed look (watch the full clip below), we see Pitt asking a lot of questions about how to target the creatures and how to get into Russia, while they do things like attack planes (in a scene that Entertainment Weeklypoints out will seem familiar if you've seen some of the newest Iron Man trailers). It's high on the zombie-combat-plan plot.

But have a look for yourself:
